Women Share First Experiences With Reiki – Does Reiki Really Work?
As a Reiki Master and Practitioner for more than twenty-five years, I am aware of the many people's skepticism and empty experiences with Reiki over the years. To be transparent, I, too, was skeptical before I experienced Reiki and its healing properties. These first experiences with Reiki that are less than desirable have prevented folks from experiencing the beauty and healing of Reiki; this is true more now than ever because there are so many people trained in Reiki in either a watered-down version or do not embrace the inner practice of integrating Reiki into their life, not just when working on others.
I have listened to people, mostly women, share their experiences of Reiki practitioners violating physical, emotional, and even sexual boundaries during Reiki sessions! This is tragic for the people who had these first experiences with Reiki that are harmful, and their friends and family who have learned about Reiki from them and understandably keep a safe distance from Reiki.
Reiki has been incredibly life-changing for me, which is why I practice and train students in the need for strong and clear Reiki boundaries and ALWAYS receiving consent before placing their hands on somebody else! Reiki Ethics have gotten lost in the last decade or so.
I hope you appreciate this brief article sharing women's first experiences with Reiki....
